Why do you ask for my email address and phone number? We require an email address and a valid phone number so our partner moving companies can contact you and quote your move.

Valuation insurance covers you for any damage that occurs to your belongings while they are in transit or stored in another vehicle.

In this case, your moving charges will be based on the re-weighed amount. What is expedited service? You pay a higher rate so your movers can transfer your household or business goods on a specified date. ?What is a transportation surcharge?

Most moving companies use an hourly rate for local moves. This price normally includes the driving time required to arrive at your home, to your destination and then back to the moving company. What is an extra pickup? Most moving companies will charge you extra to make any stops to pick up or deliver additional items from anywhere other than your origin and destination.
